Not all hibiscus is created equal
Here's what most brands won't tell you:
Hibiscus works because of its anthocyanins: the deep-ruby antioxidants that help protect blood vessels, support a healthy inflammatory response and support healthy blood pressure.
The problem? A lot of the hibiscus tea on the shelf is faded, dusty and machine-processed.

Standard mass-market hibiscus tea
Light red

Deep ruby
Comparison of color depth, the visible sign of anthocyanins. Not a lab measurement.
The deeper the ruby, the richer the cup. And Rubi Tea brews deep ruby, every time.
Clinical studies on hibiscus use deep-red, anthocyanin-rich calyxes. Rubi Tea is made from deep-red dried hibiscus calyxes, never pale dust, so you can see the difference in every cup.
